What is Movement Re-education?

• A way to reconnect to our physical body.

• A way to alleviate ourselves of the many bad habits we develop through our years of living.

• A way to increase performance ability and potential.

What are some of the benefits of movement re-education?

• Live more efficiently and effectively.

• Reduce tension and stress and live more freely within your body.

• Become more expressive and communicative in your movement and your body language.

Who can benefit from movement re-education?

• Individuals recovering from current injuries, or living with old injuries.

• Athletes wanting to enhance performance; to jump higher, go further and faster.

• Public speakers wanting to be more effective in their speech.

• People of all ages; children needing to increase coordination—seniors wanting to retain specific movement fluidity.

What would a session of Movement Re-education consist of?

• Initial consult will begin with goal setting: what does the client want to accomplish through Movement Re-education?

• Time for observation of client’s movement is required. Depending on the goals, observation may need to take place in specific settings—i.e., playing field for sports.

• Subsequent sessions will involve retraining and isolating individual muscles to work more or to work less.  This involves simple movement exercises designed and developed for the individual client based on the Laban/Bartenieff  training.
